What should I use for a mixed breed dog? the 2.0 Breed ID kit or the Mixed breed kit? what are the differences?

I used the 2.0 kit for my mixed breed dog. I am not sure of the difference. I would suggest going to the website and calling their customer support number. I called to check on my kit's progress and they were very helpful.

I'm not sure what the differences are, but the 2.0 kit specifically says it can be used with mixed breeds, and that's what we used for our Blue Heeler / Lab mix. I think the mixed breed kit may be an older product.

I checked into it before purchasing on the Wisdom Panel website. If you have a mixed breed dog purchase the mixed breed kit. They will test for over 200 breeds of dogs. It is a great report. The test is very easy, first thing in morning before food or water you swab out the dogs mouth and mail the tips back in a special container.

I do not know the difference, my dog is a mixed breed and I got the2.0 kit that worked just fine with my mixed breed.

Either one would be fine. They both look the same weight to me, so the difference can't be much. The one I have is very sturdy. I used it for my rescue 85-lb Bernese Mountain Dog to teach her to 'go potty' while on a leash.

According to the Wisdom Panel website, the 2.0 identification DNA test kit has replaced the Wisdom Panel MIXED BREED test kit. Our dog was definitely a mixed breed guy, and our regular test kit identified all of them. It's all very well done and worth the cost.Hope this helps.

I think the short hair would work fine for both. This is an amazing brush! I also have a Lab/ Retriever mix and it really does the job. I have also used it on our 2 previous Great Danes. This is the only brush out of several purchased that really works and mine have now been in use for a few years without problem. I would recommend using it outside however, because it works so well...hair will go everywhere!

I actually use both I went on Dog IDs.com and got an army digital embroidered with her name and my phone number and I switch back-and-forth depending if were walking through people we will use the coller if were walking out in the woods or going hiking or tracking then we use the lead on the harness definitely I recommend to purchase this not only is it cool we can put some really cool military patches on it as well It is used on a German Shepherd at about eight months old and it fits her well.good luck!

What size and breed? I'm using this on a 7 month old 80 pound lab puppy. Features are amazing. Tone vibrate then shock as a last resort. My problem is the 18 power setting isn't strong enough so he shakes his leg when I have to shock him. The tone and vibrate definitely get his attention though and its rechargeable which is amazing. Otherwise you would use a ton of batteries. We had one before that wasn't rechargeable and it was very expensive to keep batteries in it. I'm very happy with my purchase and feel it was well worth it. Just wish the prongs were a little longer since he has such a thick neck. But again depending on the size and breed you have, this may be perfect for you. What size and breed? I'm using this on a 7 month old 80 pound lab puppy. Features are amazing.

I have a pure breed black lab, and a pure breed cocker. I have had NO problems with the system with either dog. Once the dogs know it is there, they haven't even gottin close to the boundary. Hope this helps you out. I also have not had ANY problems with the transmitter(collars) not fitting right. You just have to adjust to the size.

I checked this out online, and Wisdom panel has over 170 breeds in their database (more than their competitors) and welsh pembroke corgi is one of those. However they do not list a cardigan corgi as one those 170 breeds so I doubt if that supposed 2 percent would show up. I suppose it would be worth a try, but really - how important is that 2percent?

For a Lab I would recommend the wider one. I bought this for my 13 year old 25 pound mix breed, but she is too afraid to use it. It is a great idea, but start using it early!

You need one kit per dog because 1) to swab each cheek (as recommended by the veterinarian who contacted me) and 2) because there is only one kit ID to track it through the process. If you used one kit on each dog it would confuse the results.

It's all together. Be very careful with measurements. What kind of dog are you looking to buy for?

I would go with what the vet says. The ingredients are what a company says are for large breed and your vet knows you dog and his/her size.

I have not met either of those two breeds or the mix, so I can't advise. If your dog will let you take his measurements, use that to match a muzzle that should fit.

I looked at the back of the Small Breed package and it has serving instructions for dogs up to 40 pounds. So to me that means you'd get the small breed.

I would probably try the red ones (small). I would actually try to check these out at Petco or something first if you can- I think they list some suggested sizes by breed on the back of the box (but I could be completely making that up) and the staff could advise you too. With fluffier breeds, I think you have more flexibility- even if they are a little big on your dog, the hair will help keep them in place (you need a more accurate fit on smooth/short hair or they'll slip off if too big). If they end up being too big for now, sounds like your dog will probably grow into them by the end of the winter! Hope that helps! I would probably try the red ones (small).

I have m/l for a Bernese Mt Dog and small for a 30 lb cattle dog mix. I think you want extra small.

I think you will gain knowledge of what your dog's "primary" breed is first & foremost. Then the test goes into detail as to what line is next all the way to # 5. Honestly, I was impressed.......you will be also. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!
